THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE PEOPLE

PROPHETIC MISSION

HOW TO HAND THEM AND ON DUTY TO THE MINISTRY

For many years, I have taught our congregation on the subject of the prophetic. As a result of
this powerful teaching, I have witnessed God’s people being blessed as well as learning to hear
and move in the prophetic ministry. In this same way, I am unable to imagine my life without
the prophetic interference.

This is why this book is in your hands, with the hope that it will encourage you to become part
of this movement that is continuously blessing people’s lives.

This book is filled with scriptural references on the prophetic ministry and prophetic life. I urge
you to frequently meditate on these verses. God wants to use His word of truth to make your
path prosperous and cause good successes. In every generation, God is on a prophetic culture.

Behold, the days come saith the Lord, I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and
with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant I have with their father in the day I
took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke,
although I was a husband unto them, saith the Lord but this shall be the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel. After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their
hearts and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And they shall teach no more every man his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord for I will forgive
their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more.

Jeremiah 31:31 – 34
It is vividly clear that the new covenant God established with Israel and Judah includes knowing
the Lord. All believers, from every angle in their walk with God, can have the blessings of
knowing God through the Holy Spirit which includes knowing and recognizing the voice of the
Lord. When we use the term prophecy, we are referring to hearing the voice of God and
communicating it to others. In other words every believer is mandated by God to operate in the
prophetic. Your lifestyle must be birth out of the prophetic and the prophecy in Jeremiah, every
child of God should expect to hear from God and speak it. Why? Because all of us are a new
covenant believer as prophet Jeremiah said.
The foundation of the new covenant is the basis for developing your prophetic life. It is time to
activate the prophetic lifestyle in us, our jobs, ministries, families etc., however activating the
prophetic ministry in your life is a continuous journey.

The prophetic ministry is one of those among the five fold ministry that enhances a man to
fulfill his assignment on earth for the effect of eternity, it is important to activate it in your life
as an individual for the manifestation of your destiny. It is true that God wants every person to
be a prophet.

Remember what Moses said.

And Moses said unto him, enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the Lord’s people
were prophets and that the lord would put his spirit upon them.

Numbers 11:29

This should be the heart of every leader Moses desired that all of God’s people would share the
prophetic anointing through the Holy Spirit being upon them. And it is now a reality under the
new covenant. We can have the Holy Ghost upon us, and we can all share in the prophetic
anointing or grace.

I have seen over the years as a Christian and a minister of God that Christianity is not a religion
but a revelation to the world and people who can bring this revelation to this dying world is the
mandate of prophetic people. Christians are supposed to prophetically move the world to a
new dimension where people’s original destiny can be attained and fulfilled. This cannot be
accomplished if we are not in the prophetic.

This book is about developing a prophetic culture in the life of your church. The prophetic
ministry is more than giving to people “the word of the Lord” once in a while. In the context of
this culture the prophetic ministry will affect every area of the life of the local church or
individual. The prophetic ministry affects the way they live and think.

Every believer should expect to hear the voice of God

To develop means to build up or expand, to make strong or more effective, to bring
something that is latent into activity or activation.
This ministry has been dormant and latent in this end time in many people’s life. Some have the
gift with no manifestation. However, God is raising new covenant people who will begin to
operate in the prophetic ministry in Jesus name. I want to stir your faith, and I want to develop
you in the area of prophecy by imparting the necessary knowledge you need to develop
prophetically.
CHAPTER 2

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND PROPHECY

Jesus promised his disciple the gift of the Holy Spirit. His promise was fulfilled on the day of
Pentecost and in subsequent “Pentecost” over the centuries.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the
spirit gave the utterance.

Act 2:4

The Holy Spirit is also known as the comforter, and prophecy is one of the ways he comforts the
believer. Comforter is the Greek word “Parakletos”, which means an intercessor, consoler or
advocate.

When the Holy Spirit comes the result includes comfort and strength and the ability to speak
forth the word of God boldly.

The Holy Spirit gave the disciples utterance which in Greek is the word “Apophtheggomai”
meaning to enunciate, declare, say or speak forth.

The first thing that happened when the Holy Ghost came upon the disciples in the upper room
on the Day of Pentecost was inspired utterance which is called prophecy.

Your entrance into the prophetic Realm is dependent on your baptism of the Holy Spirit.

The prophecy of Joel emphasizes the release of prophecy among the sons, daughters, servants
and hand maids.

The believers spoke with tongues on that day of Pentecost and Peter quoted the prophecy of
Joel to identify what was happening to those who spoke in tongues. They were inspired by the
Holy Spirit.
And it shall come to pass after and that will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons
and your daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall
see visions and upon the servants and upon the hand maids in those days will I pour out my
spirit.
Joel 2:28 – 9

Millions of believers worldwide have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of
speaking in tongues. Many believers have limited the experience of speaking in tongues and
have not experience the blessings of prophecy. But prophecy and speaking in tongues are both
inspired utterances.

Speaking in tongues is the inspired utterance in a language that is unknown to the speaker and
prophecy is an inspired utterance in a language that is known to the speaker.
So you see, it is about time that believers begin to see the reality of the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. It is the first initial duty of the spirit of God but empty vessel that are willing to come for
the infilling of the Holy Spirit is important.

By God’s Grace I have been a blessing to hundreds of His people. As I speak inspired utterances
yielding to the Holy Spirit, God is raising men of fire for Himself and for this dying generation to
bring men back to their original nature. Men were created by the prophetic and it is our
assignment to live in the prophetic realm and act it out in our life. Because how well you live in
the prophetic realm is a determinant of the power you have and what you control.

 THE INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding

Job 32:8

God inspired our spirit through the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament prophets spoke by this
inspiration. The New Testament prophets spoke by this inspiration. Spirit filled believers today
can also speak by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the door way into the prophetic
Those who experience the manifestation of tongues can also prophesy. The Holy Spirit inspires
the believers to do both. The only key is to yield to the spirit and allow Him to inspire you to
speak in a tongue that you do not understand or comprehend and have not learnt in your
native language.
In 1Thessalonians 5:19 – 20 we are told not to stop inspired utterance.

Quench not the spirit. Despite not prophesying.

Inspired utterance brings blessing to the church and individual believers.

 WORD DROP LIKE RAIN

We read this line in familiar words:

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God.

Psalm 68:8

The heavens dropped at his presence, what does it mean?

Drop is the Hebrew word nataph, meaning to distill, gradually to fall in drops, to speak by
inspiration. In other words, to prophesy. One of the ways God inspired us is by dropping his
words upon us. This usually happens when there is a co-operate worship when the presence of
God falls like rain and there are usually many people who are inspired to speak but in diverse
ways. Some will sing prophetic songs, some will speak in tongues and some will be prophesying
why, because when the spirit is strong in us, the words fall on us.

 WORDS SPRING UP.

What is prophecy? It simply means speaking under the inspiration of God. In prediction or
simple discourse.
The word prophecy is Naba in Hebrew which mean to speak by inspirations or sing by
inspiration.
It carries the signs of flowing or pouring out. A prophet is called Nabiy, which means an inspired
man; prophetess is Nabiyah, which means inspired human, poetess or a prophet’s wife. So
everybody can flow in the prophetic utterance. The inspiration to prophesy can fall like rain on
you, Nataph, or spring up from the inside, Naba, it is the same Holy Spirit who inspire in the
way. 2 Samuel 23:2
You can speak the words of God to your generation, family, marriage and every area of your
life.

The problem of the church is ignorance.

And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied saying ……………

Luke 1:67

Spirit filled believers and church should prophesy by virtue of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
We should flow. The word filled in Greek is Pietho, meaning to influence or supply. We can
speak by the influence of the Holy Ghost.

Three things happen when we prophesy- we bring edification, exhortation and comfort.
Let’s get into the prophetic and download into our system the knowledge of the spirit.
CHAPTER 3

THE PURPOSE OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTY

I am not trying to make every believer a prophet and yet all can prophesy as the bible said.

 PURPOSE OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT

The scriptural definition for prophecy is to EDIFY, that is under the New Covenant. Prophecy
brings Edification.

To edify means to build up. God desires His people to live under an open heaven where His
people are always Edified (Built up) through prophecy.

So in the New Covenant, (New Testament) the church is built through prophecy. The question
now is how the prophetic ministry can build up a church in this 21st century.

Edify is related to edifice, which is another word for building. His edifice is through prophecy.

But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to Edification and exhortation and comfort.
1Cor 14:3

The church is edified in two ways as stated in 1Cor 14:3 above.

 EXHORTATION

Exhortation is paraklesis in Greek which means entreaty, consolation or comfort. The word is
related to the word parakletos or comforter which is a name for Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit uses
prophecy to comfort the Church that is the people and believers. And exhort them to holiness,
love and etc.

When we don’t feel like God is there with us in our situations, then prophecy appears to exhort
and make you know that He is right with you and remember that your EXHORTATION
DETERMINES YOUR EXALTATION!!!
How much you know in life is determined by the comfort you receive in life. May our eyes be
opened to this revelation in Jesus Name!!! Amen
Nothing can replace prophecy in the church because of what it does. Nothing can stand in
because it exhorts to love and holiness etc.
That is why when believers are almost at the point of giving up, then Holy Spirit speaks through
prophecy, and then there is a new sense of release of power to move on and still hope in
Elohim, life and ministry.

My friends, the prophetic is a need in every church today, not just in church but individual life,
in a nation and in our families because the presence of the prophet is the end of sorrow. When
prophecy appears it is the end to frustration and double mindedness.

I speak as prophet sent to you in this season, through this epistle (writing) that may you
receive the prophetic grace (power), let the prophetic power be activated in your life in the
name of Jesus Christ!!!I speak to your soul, minds and spirit; receive the grace to manifest
now in Jesus name!!! Amen!!!

 COMFORT
In Greek is paramuthial, which means consolation. It is important for believers who are
suffering in faith to be comforted. Many think prophecy is actually prediction, but that’s not it.
Prophecy in meaning has no reference to prediction but many think it is possible that prophets
predict when they prophesy, but is not a required definition.

Prophets are needed because through prophets that the ministry of our dear Lord Jesus Christ
will fulfill its mission on earth.
The ministry of Jesus Christ is based on the Apostolic and the prophetic grace. To be able to
make it these two must be realized.

The church has always been a prophetic church in its nature and functions. The disciples moved
in the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit after he came upon them. The manifestation when the
Holy Spirit comes is that of speaking in tongues and prophecy. It shows how God wants the
church to operate.

And when Paul laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke with
tongues and prophesied.
Acts 19:6

And the same man had four daughters’ virgins which did prophesy and as we tarried there
many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet named Agabus.
Acts 21:9-10

So now even in our gathering from time to time we must expect this ministry. This is the New
Testament Prophetic ministry. Remember I explained the purpose of this ministry in 1Cor
14:26.
But if all prophesy and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by
all, he is convinced by all. And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed and so falling down
on his face, he will worship God and repot that God is truly among you.
1Cor 14:24-25
So now you see the power of the ministry of the prophetic. May you receive this anointing as
you read this book in Jesus mighty name! Amen!
This gift is in the ministry to help the establishment of the church and not to be destroyed.

 PURPOSE OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

So now we are look at the purpose of the prophetic ministry in the Old Testament.

And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
Hosea 12:13

Now from the scripture above, you notice that two words were declared that when a prophet
exist it happens, it means your deliverance and protection is in the hand of the prophetic
ministry.

Hosea was saying that it took the hand of a prophet, so the church security against powers of
darkness can be stopped when the prophetic ministry is happening.

The first purpose for the ministry in the Old Testament is to bring Deliverance.

Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:12

It means that at times God deals with certain people. Without the prophetic ministry we are
deaf to the words of God.

Years ago when I became a Christian, I served pastors and still I wasn’t sure about whether I am
called or not but still I was doing the kingdom business but God was calling me at that time to
start a ministry but I was deaf to God because I only knew the voice of God in the Bible. But I
had the seed of the prophetic ministry in me.

So God had to speak through a prophet to speak to me because I was deaf. I was liberated and
set free from the power of self delay through a prophet. I have ministered 14 years in the
prophetic office and the Lord used me to speak to people right at the time they have needed
instructions and I see how when they are released, it is a burden which has been lifted off them.

Child of God, some of us are stuck in ministry with barrenness (unfruitfulness, delays,
frustrations, destructions) which is bondage.
Nothing capsizes a man’s destiny like lack of instructions and directions.
Yes it is very true. Where have you been called? Have you been assigned (divine placement)?
When do you start? How do you start?

So that makes it part of our life to conclude that this ministry is important. Look at Elijah, he
always brought words of deliverance and preservation. Also, the freedom must continue so he
preserve so if you are a prophet lets rise up in power and begin to manifest in Jesus Name.

Israel was delivered but deliverance was not that was needed but what if they had died after
their freedom. So they need to be preserved for the promises of God to come to pass. You will
not die by His promise for you, you will not be stuck, and His grace will preserve you, the Grace
that is beyond all understanding in Jesus Name. I prophesy that you are covered in Jesus Name.

 LEVELS OF THE PROPHETIC MINISTRY

There are three levels known in the prophetic ministry. These are
1. The spirit of prophecy
2. The gift of prophecy
3. The office of the prophet

 THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged!
1Cor 14:31

We can all prophesy as stated in the above scripture. Every child of God can prophecy but not
all are called to this ministry as a Prophet. Just as we can all preach in church and not all are
called to lead a church, you can worship but not all can be leaders.
God wants to raise prophetic people for this end time.

What then does it mean to prophesy? To prophesy means….

a) To speak or operate under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
b) To speak the mind of Christ and to speak what you see.
c) To predict or make simple discourse. It is called NABA in Hebrew which is to prophesy.

So now it means showing what God has installed for us. Thus, the mind of God, the heart of
God etc. This is the vivid interactions about our likes and assignments.
Moreover, he said to me Son of man eat what you find, eat the scroll and go speak to the
house of Israel. So I opened my mouth and he caused me to eat that scroll. And he said son of
man feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you. So I ate and it was in
my mouth like honey in sweetness. Then he said son of man go to the house of Israel and
speak with my words to them.
Ezekiel 3:1-4

So to speak under the spirit of prophecy is not reciting your own words but by the intuition of
God you carry. Not your words but His words.

Knowing this first that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretations. For the prophesy
never came by the will of man but Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy
Spirit.
2Peter 1:20-21

So you speak under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

The spirit of prophecy is the basic level of prophecy. It operates under a conducive atmosphere
of worship that can bring down the presence of God and surrounded by the prophet’s
leadership. Any believer that will yield himself, is used to speak to the church and the people.

While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said set apart for me
Barnabas Paul for the wok to which I have called them.
Acts 13:2

What happened is the spirit of prophecy was released because they were worshipping and
fasting. One way to prepare for this ministry is Worship.
The only way then that women, children, maids etc can prophesy is through the spirit of
prophecy.

That is why worship is an integral part of the church. You can operate in His level of prophecy
because it has become the only way through which we can testify of Jesus according to
Revelation 19:10.
And I fell at her feet to worship him. And he said unto me see thou do it not: I am thy fellow
servant and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus, worship God for the testimony
of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10

Then Saul sent messengers to David and when they saw the group of prophets prophesying
and Samuel standing as leader over them. The spirit of God came upon the messengers of
Saul and they also prophesied. And when Saul was told he sent other messengers and they
prophesied likewise.
1Samuel19:20

This is a time when God takes the anointing of a prophet and put upon one to operate in it. It
does not stay forever, it comes upon one and leaves. It happened to Saul and it left according to
1 Samuel 9 and 10. This is for the church.

It provides people with unction they need in order to speak as oracles of the Lord. To use it
biblically, with this level you prophesy according to your faith.

So this level, your prophecy is limited to the testimony of Jesus. It does not make any one a
prophet. These utterances are limited. The word of God testifies of Jesus.

Church, the world needs a paradigm shift and people who have availed themselves for God are
the people God wants to use to cause this movement. We have lived in the shallow part of the
world because we have failed to use what God has given us.

People who operate in divination and exorcism have the spirit done upon them and they are
destroying destinies of God’s people, in schools, homes, witchcraft operations etc. We are the
saints who are full of the Holy Ghost that will speak.

Elijah said if I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you all. No
wonder they left their names and presence in the world.

Begin to search the spirit and his abilities. The Holy Spirit has the ability to speak through you,
just be available. Amen!
  THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
This is the second level of prophetic ministry. Gifts are given and when you look into the
scriptures, Jesus gave us gift which is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit also comes in the dimension of
His gifts. So one sign to know the spirit of God is upon one is when the gift of the Spirit is in
Him.

Therefore he says when he ascended on high he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.
And he himself gave some to be Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelist and some Pastors
and Teachers.
Ephesians 4:8-11

Among the gift Jesus gave to the Church Prophecy is one of it.
You can operate through this ministry. You can walk well with the Spirit of God. This is because
is His will that we all have it according 1Corinthians 12:7

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.
1Corinthians 12:7

If you are reading this book you can do it. You can operate in it. You have the seed in you. This
is where the power of Edification is released to the church and the body of Christ.

But he who prophesy speaketh Edification and Exhortation and Comfort.

1Corinthians 14:3

So now the power to Edify is in this Level. It doesn’t make you a prophet. Many have abused
this gift, tearing churches apart with this gift, breaking homes and some have ended up in
wrong places for instruction but this gift was given that the church would be comforted, edified
and exhorted.

Let’s come back to the altar of Love and Unity. Paul said even if we speak with tongues of
Angels and there is no Love we fail. This level is greater than the first level of Prophecy.

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my
hand
2 Timothy 1:6

This person is speaking out of a gift. So there is an additional strength of this gift as well. This
utterance will be stronger than the spirit of prophecy. You begin to see it through your life
anytime you want to operate in it. It is the gift of the spirit to you as a gift.
There are levels of strength for the gift depending on the measure of Grace we received by the
person who has the gift. Those who can speak from this level bring edification, exhortation and
comfort. That is why believers who when they go beyond their level of grace sets confusion in
the area they find themselves.

When you operate in the spirit of prophecy that is your level! Even though you can grow in the
Grace but most without growing in the Grace, they migrate to the gift of prophet. That is when
confusion is released in the body of Christ.
If you are not called to this assignment then you must stick to where you stand.

 THE OFFICE OF THE PROPHET

This is the greatest level of the prophetic realm or ministry. This was the realm Jesus operated
from. People must be called to this level. It has to be a call to operate because this is the
highest realm of the prophetic ministry.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart, I
appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah 1:5

So this ministry is a calling and ordination.

So now who is a Prophet? Prophets are God’s ordained men to speak for them. So whoever will
stand in this office is standing as the Mouth piece of the Lord. They tell people God’s words,
everybody is anointed to speak God’s word, preach saying thou sayest the Lord but God has
applauded people, He speaks too clear and shows himself to them in a way we won’t see him.

Example is Moses. God said of Moses

With him I speak face to face clearly and not in riddles. He sees the form of the Lord, why
then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Numbers 12:8

That is the problem in the Church now. The one operating in the Spirit of prophecy says he is a
prophet and the one operating in the gift also calls himself a prophet. So who is the prophet
now? That was what happened to Moses, Aaron and Miriam taught they were the same with
Moses.
What you see from the gift of prophecy and spirit of prophecy is only a shadow against what
the one in the Office will see. We must understand our levels and operations.

How do we differentiate them? Simple being in this ministry I have understood one thing.
The authority of the prophet is different from the two. He speaks for God. The word prophet is
from the Hebrew word “Nabiy” and it means Inspired man. It comes from the word “NABA”
which means to speak by inspiration.
Prophets have the power to preach and watch over God’s people. The difference is the
Authority.

See I have this day set thee over the nation and over kingdoms to root out and to pull down,
to destroy and throw down, to build and to plant.
Jeremiah 1:10
This is the authority of the prophet.

A Prophet is called for

I. Destruction of Satan’s kingdom
II. Establishment of God’s kingdom in the heart of men.
III. Stand in the gap between the church and Satan to bring subjections in the kingdom of
Satan.

Every ministry has the Grace to establish righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost but the
prophetic ministry has a special assignment to pull down, destroy and throw away in battle. So
if you are a prophet you already have the power to confront demonic powers.

Behold I give unto you power to thread upon scorpions and snakes and nothing shall by any
means hurt you.
Luke 10:19

You have the power! God has given it to you!

How will you know you are called into the office of a Prophet?
i. You minister or flow in the Prophetic office easily
ii. It becomes a seed in your heart which you feel.
iii. Through other prophets
iv. You prophesy with joy and happiness.
v. You don’t struggle.
vi. Your words (prophecy) blesses people
vii. There are results after you prophecy.
If you are truly ordained into the prophetic office you must go through before you come out as
a prophet. You are first called into the office. You must be trained and after all your character
becomes worthy of emulation then you can be commissioned.

Be diligent to present yourself approved o God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Timothy 2:15

 MANIFESTATIONS OF THE PROPHETIC OFFICE

Now I want to talk to you about some manifestations of the prophetic office which has eluded
many in the prophetic ministry. These are some sensitive parts in the highest level of the
prophetic ministry.

Revelation
Every genuine prophet brings revelation anytime he speaks.

Let the prophets speak two or three and let the others judge. If anything be revealed o
another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. Ye may all prophesy by one that all
may learn and all be comforted.
1Corinthians 14:29-31
People learn this from ministry. This verse above is a link to the prophet ministering by
revelation in the local church. It exists for this purpose. Notice that prophets receive
revelation and they can all prophesy speaking forth what they see, that all may learn.
As the anointing flows it will stir up the other prophets to speak out, but as one
ministers the others judge their words. Other prophets see when the others are
prophesying. If you are a prophet you may have this experience.

Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the
prophets.
Amos 3:12

The prophecy of the prophet must first be seen in revelations not exactly (visions)
because mostly that’s what people think. But to reveal means to uncover something
that was hidden or to make open. After one is uncovered it has been revealed.

Prophetic ministry must carry uncovered secrets in the kingdom of God. God speaks
things we don’t know to us. So there are times a prophet may be speaking to one’s life
and secrets will be revealed, deeper ones. It reveals the plan of God for your life; do not
be ignorant of the plan and purpose of God for your life.
 Prophetic ministry is the means by God brings us the revelations of the will of the Lord
for our lives and churches.
When prophetic ministry is lacking darkness and confusion concerning the will of the
Lord would occur. So the will of the Lord is heard and known by Prophets.
I have seen personal prophecies that I received that shaped my life as a prophet of God.
These are likely dimensions that would be seen when a prophet is speaking.

Levels of revelations
o Dreams
Dreams are also common levels of revelation.

o Trances
Acts 10:10
The best way I can talk about this is to say dreaming whilst still awake. You may
be in the sofa and be dozing then you are caught up by the spirit into another
realm and seeing things in the spirit. Peter fell into a trance according
2Corinthians 12:2-4.

o Open Visions
This is the highest form of revelation than the others. It occurred in Acts 10:3.
These visions are so clear that you see things physically. In open visions you see
things clearly. Things that are distant are seen vividly. I have had encounters with
Angels in open vision.

o Audible Voices
It occurs like a running water, I have heard him speaks to me this way. These
forms of revelations must be seen when a prophet is under the influence of the
spirit out all in a day but one of these should be visible when a prophet speaks.

Revelation is the reference point of encounters. It means you can only refer to certain
encounters based on the authenticity of the revelation you have received.

Impartations
One of the abilities of the prophet is to impart blessings (empowerment).

For I long to see you to see you that I may impact unto you some spiritual gifts to the
end that you may be established.
Romans 1:11
Paul’s desires was to impart, it was the anointing of a prophet that gave him the ability
to impart gifts and anointing into people’s lives through the laying on of hands.
 Neglect not the gift that is in thee which was given to thee by prophecy with laying on
of hands of the presbytery.
1imothy 4:14

There was a transfer of power, authority, ability and grace. This is where people’s gift
are stirred and given the authority to stand in a gift or office.

I feel and know that the ministry gift needs the prophetic ministry and gifts needs the
prophetic ministry.

Deuteronomy 34:9 tells us that Moses imparted Joshua through the laying on of hands.
He transferred his prophetic Grace on him and that was what gave Joshua the authority
to command nature to obey his words.

Benefits of impartation
One of the benefits is to Establish (make firm, strong) within this anointing people can
be established in most areas of this life.

 PROPHETIC ACTIVATIONS
The prophetic ministry has the power to activate life, destinies, ministries and gifting in
the body of Christ. To activate means to STIR and IGNITE.

So I prophesied as he commanded me and the breath came into them and they lived
and stood upon their feet; an exceedingly great army.
Ezekiel 37:10

The dry bones represent the house of Israel but as prophesied the bones came back
together as Ezekiel spoke. They came back to their original positions.

The prophet must activate destinies not kill or condemn but we hear some prophets in
this season saying all sort of things. But to stand true you must activate lives that are
dead.

 CONFIRMATION
Confirm means to make FIRM or STRENGTHEN, to give an ASSURANCE, to REMOVE
DOUBT.
According to Webster to confirm means is firmed or securely fixed in a place. The
prophetic ministry is in the church to confirm the saints.
 And Judas and Silas being prophet also themselves exhorted the brethren with many
words and confirmed them.
Acts 15:32

When prophets minister there are confirmed destinies, message, teachings and
revelations.

This is the third time I am coming to you; in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall
every word be established.
2Corinthians 13:1

You may have something in your spirit but a prophet confirms it. This dissolves doubts in
people. This must be a prominent manifestation in the prophetic ministration by the
witness of the office of the prophet. It is the ability of the office to manifest it.

I would now want to talk about how you can operate in this realm.

 TYPES OF PROPHETS

 Singing prophets
 Teaching prophets
 Apostolic prophets
 Seers

The only way to see where you stand is to look at the fruits.

 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PROPHETS

 They equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

 They bring illumination of the word of God.
 They release people into their calling.
 They establish the truth in the church.
  HOW CAN YOU HEAR HIS VOICE?

My sheep hears my voice and I know them and they follow me.
John 10:27
Throughout the bible times we realized that our God is a speaking God, he speaks all the time
but it is the people who do not know how to hear his voice.

IF WE CEASE TO HEAR GOD WE WILL BE MISLEAD IN OUR DESTINITIES to hear from God. We
must become a sheep with certain attitudes.

A sheep is always attached to commands. It is through the spirit of God that God is able to
speak to us or communicate with us. So if you have the infilling of the spirit, it means you have
the qualities of to hear the voice of God in your life. The Holy Spirit is our helper.

However when the spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth for he will not
speak on his own authority; but whatever he hears, he will speak and he will tell you all
things to come.
John 16:13

And the spirit will help us to hear his voice. If you want to hear God then there are certain
attitudes that must be present in your life.

You must desire to hear him.

The starting point of every genuine prophetic is desire. Your desire is the starting
machine. The spirit will not force Himself on you to speak to you. But if you understand
His significance in your ministry and life, then we must begin to apply more force on
hearing from Him always. We must desire to hear Him.

As the hart (Deer) panteth after the water brooks; so panteth my soul after thee O God.
Psalms 42:1

Let it be your heart desire to hear Him always speak to you and nothing more. The great
commission can never be fulfilled if the hearing of the voice of God is limited. He shows you
where to go and where to preach.

One thing I have desired of the Lord that will I seek hat I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and inquire in his temple.
Psalms 27:4
You must thirst after his presence because his presence is His voice. You must also understand
that desire is not all, but where you are in his presence. You must pay attention to him and
nothing should replace his presence.

Give him attention.

He, who has an ear to hear, let him hear.

Matthew 11:15

Anything you give your attention to you become it becomes part of you. So we prophets have
been missing our position and are messing up, but thank God for this book.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear and your soul shall live. And I will make an
everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Isaiah 55:3

You must discipline yourself to be attentive to his voice.

 SYMBOLS IN THE SUPERNATURAL SPIRIT REALM

For us to be effective in this ministry as a prophet we must also understand ways that God
speak to us unexpectedly through symbols.

We must learn to properly learn how to interpret the message of God in dreams, visions,
trances etc. God communicates with us through symbols and objects mostly.

In the Old Testament God used times, ages, numbers, colour’s etc.

 OBJECTS AND THEIR MEANING IN THE PROPHETIC REALM

The Word – Milk, Bread, Meat, Manna, Honey, Water, Corn, Butter.

The Anointing – Oil, Perfume, Ointment, Olives, Mantle.

Honey – When expressed negatively it means bribery and pleasures of sin.

 The Glory – Fire, Wind, Cloud, Hand of God, River of God.
Mountain – The Church of God.

Milk and Honey together – Prosperity.

 COLOURS AND THEIR MEANING IN THE PROPHETIC REALM

Scarlet (Red) – Sacrifice, Redemptive work of Jesus and Jesus the suffering servant.

Blue – Heavens, Jesus the one from Heaven.

Purple – Royalty, Jesus the King of Kings.

Fine Linen White – Perfection, Jesus the perfect man.

Green – Resurrection Life.

Black – Sin.

 MINERALS AND THEIR MEANING IN THE PROPHETIC REALM

Gold – Divine nature, the Glory of God and God the Father.

Silver – Redemption, Atonement, Ransom Money and God the son.

Brass – Strength, Judgments against sin, and God the Holy Spirit.

Precious Stones – Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Glories of the saints, the preciousness of
God’s own people and the righteous acts of the Children of God.
  NUMBERS AND THEIR MEANING IN THE PROPHETIC REALM

One – Number of God, Beginning, Source, Commencement, First.

Two – Number of Witness, Testimony.
Three – Number of God head.
Four – Number of Earth, Creation, World four, Seasons, Tour winds, Four corners of the
earth.

One Hundred and Fifty three – Number of Revival and Elect.

These numbers are significant in the spirit. You may sometimes see numbers, colour names and
God may be talking to you. It makes it easier when you understand them in the prophetic
realms.
The prophet will have the strongest utterance because they speak by the spirit of prophecy, the
gift of prophecy and also out of the strength of the office of the prophets.

The office has the grace or mandate to speak beyond edification, exhortation and comfort. They
minister in different scope of need than believers who speak by the spirit of prophecy or the gift
of prophecy.

This level is complete though the strength is massive. This is the desire that the church will walk
in this standard of life. The length and breadth and depth and height of this realm is all the
church needs.

The prophet has the anointing by Grace to minister and speak in higher, wider and deeper
ways.
GOD’S GRACE, OUR BOUNDARY.

Grace is God’s ability, which is our boundary. My friend pastor, William Anaba, said that. Which
means the level of grace you receive from God is your or has become your boundary. You
cannot move beyond that grace.

Paul said:
‘As many members in our body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we
being many are on body in Christ and individual members of one another, having them gifts
differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them’. If prophecy lets us
prophesy proportional to our faith or ministry. Let us use it in our ministry. He who teaches on
teaching, he who exhorts on exhortation, he who gives with liberation he who leads with
diligence, he who shows mercy with cheerfulness.
Romans 12:4-8

Everybody should operate in the prophetic. One or more of the prophetic levels but the levels
of grace differ. Discern your measure of grace, your level of grace and begin to operate into
them.

The office of the prophet is what will usher the church into the deeper degree of glory. It is the
highest degree of the prophetic anointing that we will discuss more length in this book.

We must seek to be part of this great army, God is raising general in the prophetic today who
will take over the nations of the world for our God
I see you becoming one of them in Jesus name. I cannot over emphasize the important of this
ministry.

Even so ye, for as much as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts seek that ye may excel to the
edification of the church.

1 Corinthians 14: 12.

My years into the office of the prophet, I have impacted many lives, blessed many, edified
many. Through the prophetic there has been a shift in the lives of people. There is power in this
ministry, begin to seek your portion in it, in Jesus Name.

We must make room for its operation in the local churches. We should allow the prophets to
prophesy. And as we do that the church will enter a new level of power and authority.
CHAPTER 4
PROPHETIC DIVERSITIES

I have divided the prophet anointing into three levels:

The spirit of prophecy, the gift of prophecy and the office of the prophet.

They are all administrations of the prophetic ministry falling under the office of the prophet.
And there are six manifestations. For every genuine prophetic ministry, the highest level must
birth out automatically. And that is what we are talking about in this chapter.

1. PROPHETIC REVELATION

Every true prophet brings revelation whenever he speaks.

Let the prophets speak two or three and let the other judge. If anything be revealed to
another that sitteh by, let the first hold his peace ye may all prophesy by one that all may
learn and all be comforted.

1Corinthians 14:29-31.

People learn from this ministry. This verse is link to the prophet ministering by revelation in the
local church.

Notice that prophets receive revelation and they can all prophesy (speaking forth what they
see) that all may learn.

As the anointing flows it will stir up the other prophets to speak out but as one ministers others
judge their words. But other prophets see when the others are prophesying. If you are a
prophet you know what I am talking about.

Before God does anything he first reveal to his prophets.

Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
prophets.

Amos 3: 7.
Prophetic revelation comes back in many forms or mediums. The prophecy of the prophet is
seen first in revelations, if you are a prophet this must come out of you ministry and there are
levels in this ministry. I will give you and explain a glimpse of them.
LEVELS OF REVELATION

a. IMPRESSION

Most of this is called prophecy today comes as the lowest of the prophetic revelations. These
are the impression; we put in our own words and say it without adding thus said the Lord.

b. VISION

This is the part of the Revelations; this includes those we see with the eyes of our heart and the
open vision. When I pray for people I see open vision in my eyes and sometimes I see with the
eyes of the heart. That one is so gentle that you need the peace of God to see.

c. OPEN VISION

This the highest form of revelation than the other (Acts 10: 3). This one is so clear that you see
it as it is physically.

Years ago in Koforidua, I was prophesying to a woman and she collapsed. When she woke up I
asked her what the problem was, she said, I was speaking as if I live with her, everything in her
house was described including her children and how they look. So she felt the anointing on her.
This is the power of the open visions.

d. DREAMS

e. TRANCE
This is the next highest. Act 10:10, Peter fell into a trance. This is like having a dream whiles you
are awake. 2 Corinthians 12: 2- 4, Paul was caught in a trance.

f. DIRECTIVE REVELATION: (ACT 10)

g. AUDIBLE VOICES
I have heard the Lord speak many times with his Audible voice. It is like running water. It is
good to hear his voice in Jesus name.

h. ANGELIC VISITATIONS
This is not common among believers except on a different level. Hebrews proves that Angelic
ministration is important. Sometimes as I sleep, I will see an angel tap me in sleep when I wakes
up God begins to speak to me.

In the year 2012 at night around 1:30 pm I was sleeping when an Angel came to my room, my
wife and I were there and the angel tapped me and I woke up. He didn’t talk but the moment I
woke up I started to pray and God began to minister to me on someone, that the person has
been attacked by demons in her area, because she prays a lot. So I called and her husband
picked the call and I asked him where her wife is? And he said she is in coma dying. Because
there was an attack that is why God sent the Angel to wake me up. I began to speak words in
the spirit (utterance).

The prophetic revelation is what we are talking about. Prophets are seers because they see
beforehand what the Lords will do and then speak forth what they have seen in vision, dreams
and in the spirit.

This gives you insight into the plans of God and his purpose (Ephesians 5: 15 -17) .When this is
in place the will of God is in place for us.

It is not the will of God to be ignorant of His plan and purpose.

The prophetic ministry is the means by which God will give us revelation of His will and plan for
our lives.

When the prophetic ministry is lacking, darkness and confusion result in the church and in the
saints. The will of God is seen in the spirit through prophets.

When the Spirit of God moves and the prophets prophesy, light comes. That is when the church
begins to discern the will of the Lord. When the word is spoken confusion and ignorance
departs.

I have received personal prophesy from a prophet that showed me the will of God for my life.
Years ago I met a great oracle of God, my mentor and father; his Grace Apostle Johnson
Suleman (in Nigeria) and he spoke to me and at the end of the prophetic utterance from the
highest office of the ministry. I knew the will of God for my life through the revelation of God.
2. PROPHETIC IMPARTATION

One of the abilities of the prophets is to impart blessing to others.

Romans 1: 11, Apostle Paul said, for long to see you that I may impact unto you some
spiritual gifts to the end that you may be established.

Paul desire was to impact. It was the anointing of the prophet that gave him the ability to
impact gifts and anointing into people lives through the laying on of hands.

Neglect not the gift that is in there which was given there by prophecy with laying on of
hands of the presbytery.

1 Timothy 4: 14

There was transference of spiritual Power, Authority, Ability and Grace.

All of us we need impartation of the anointing, you can receive from God directly on sometimes
but other things come through the channel of another individual.

Most people received the gift and calling when they are born again and baptized in the Holy
Spirit. Additional anointing can come through the venue of lying on the hands and prophecy.
I feel and know that every ministerial gift needs the ministry of the prophet.

When prophets ministers impart are certain, deposit are made in the lives of people. We need
this impartation for effective ministry.

Receive the prophetic in Jesus name.

Deut. 34:9, Moses imparted Joshua. Through the laying on of hands of Moses he transfer,
transmit and impart.

BENEFIT OF THE PROPHETIC IMPARTATION

(Romans 11:1), results in establishment. You will be established, firm and strong. With this
anointing people can be established. Power is release from the voice of a prophet. Matt. 10: 1
We find impartation coming to Saul after hearing Samuel speaking to him, 1samuel 10:1, he
also prophesied. He was turned into another man

c. PROPHETIC ACTIVATIONS
The prophetic ministry has the power to activate life’s destinies, ministries and gifting in the
body of Christ. Activate means to Stir and Ignite.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them and they lived and
stood upon their feet, an exceeding greets Army.
Ezekiel 37: 10

The dry bones represented the dead house of Israel but as Ezekiel prophesized, the bones came
together.

What positions a man into their right position is the prophetic ministry

When he prophesied the people come to their rightful position, many gifts are dead, ministries
are dead, and when he prophesied sinews and flesh came upon them with strength and skin
formed. When prophets prophesy something happens. You may not be in line with the
prophetic ministry, that’s why things are not working for you. Everything is breaking up. If you
can believe in this ministry, it can help your ministry and life as well. The words of the prophets
bring order in the body of Christ. The prophet activates life into situation.

d. PROPHETIC CONFORMATION

Confirm means to make firm or strengthen, give assurance, to remove doubt. According to
Webster. When something is firmed it is securely fixed in a place. This is set in the church to
confirm the saints.

And Judas and Silas being prophet also themselves exhorted the brethren with many words
and confirmed them

Acts 15: 32

When prophets minister there are confirmed destinies, messages, teaching and revelation.

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witness shall every
word be established.

2Corithians 13:1

You may have something in your spirits but a prophet confirms it.
Many people have seen visions and need confirmation, destiny but needs conformation, so the
prophet assignment is to confirm it whiles ministering in the Holy Spirit.
They dissolve doubt in people.
CHAPTER FIVE (5)
UNDERSTADING THE OFFICE OF THE PROPHET

The church is a prophetic community. We need prophets and God has also set them in the
church because they determines the growth and healthy of the church (local Assembly).
They have the power and authority to bless and curse people. I see God raising generals in the
prophetic who will call people by their names, telephones numbers, house numbers all to the
Glory of God and to prove the power of the ministry. We are in the New Testament and
prophet are to operate in the New Testament covenant not old; in the old they use to hide in
bushes and mountain, but in the New Testament they live with the churches and people, and
are respected.

a. THEIR AUTHORITY

See, I have this day set there over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull
down and to destroy, and to throw down to build and to plant

Jeremiah 1:10.

This is true not in the Old Testament but also new.

Prophets carry divine authority. The prophets have this power for two reasons.

1. for the destruction of Satan kingdom.

2. for the establishment of Gods kingdom

Prophets are;
Born to destroy the kingdom works of the enemy and to bring into subjection the power of the
enemy and also to establish the kingdom of God in our hearts and lives.
Every ministry has been called to establish righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, but
the prophetic ministry has the authority to pull down, destroy and throw away the work of
darkness, also to plant and build. So anyone in the prophetic office is always in battle (warfare).
You confront the power of darkness like Elijah who challenged and confronted the idolatry on
mount camel because of the office of the prophets. He pulled down strongholds of Baal.
(Luke 3:9), Words of a prophet is an axe at a root of a tree.

For the weapon of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of
strongholds.

2 Corinthians 10:4
If you are a prophet reading this book now you are highly anointed for this course. You carry
power and Authority. As long as you know this, the kingdom of darkness begins to panic and
fear because every man is a product of his knowledge. You are what you know as you know this
ministry and accept it. You will enjoy ministry to its fullest and operate with passion.
And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by s prophet was the preserved

Hosea 12: 13

To bring deliverance and to protect them. Your deliverance is in the hands of a Prophet!!!

ROOTING OUT EVILS

But he answered and said every plant which my heavenly father hath not planted shall be
uprooted.

Mathew 15: 13

Certain people are planted in our life to cause disaster, pain, disappointment, failures,
distortion and setbacks but the presence of the prophetic ministry exposes and break all.
Friends, false prophets have risen but we cannot lose our place because we think there are no
genuine prophets.

There are genuine prophets this end time. They are with us everywhere and you have to
confirm them by their doings.

And this is the authority many fellow ministers use to abuse people and make them slaves. The
purpose of this ministry is to take the church to a different dimension where people can feel
power but to us most feel pain, some are dubbed, some are misdirected and destroy because
of false prophets but that is not the purpose. The authority is to build people through love (1
Corinthians 13:13) minister in love to them.

Any prophets who controls people by will and dominate them are witches and wizards behind
pulpits. But connect to this flow, be on the wings of the Holy Ghost and thou shall see the Grace
of the prophet in your life.
CHAPTER 6

HOW TO TAP INTO THE PROPHETIC GRACE

Everybody can tap into this level of ministry provided the person is willing to obey the word of
God and make it happen.

There are ways and mediums that release a person into this ministry, if you must tap into the
prophetic grace of a prophet then you must understand the ways of the prophetic ministry.
When you understand its ways, you will definitely tap into it for sure.
I want to talk to you about this because if we can activate this Grace upon our lives we must
begin to see it as our duty to serve it and handle it so that its power can be activate our life.
God is always there and ready to use people but the questions is, are you ready to be use by
God? Many great ministers have lived and many things happened in their ministry.
As great man of God called Bishop Mason flowed in the prophetic ministry, he was so many
years ahead of the church of God in Christ. He will sing in tongues and sing in the spirit and
miracles will be happening.

Smith Wigglesworth raised the dead; these men always seemed out of place.
It is good to have this move of God in the city.

You can also flow in this ministry ahead of time.

TOUCHING THE MANTLE

For she said within herself, if I may but touch his garment I shall be whole

Mathew 9:21

To be sure you are part of this move is to get close to where the anointing is. Like this woman
with the issue of the blood, touching the mantle of the one who carries the anointing, you
need. If only I touch His mantle.

The mantle is the anointing. In 1Kings 19: 9, Elisha received the anointing of Elijah through his
mantle, which he touched, or received, this confirmed his calling into this office. This is what I
called prophetic mantle. Jesus walked and ministered as a prophet. He ministered under a
strong prophetic mantle; this mantle includes healing and miracles. The woman with the issue
passed through the crowd to touch His mantle, she placed a demand on the anointing, and I
always say every anointing is Dossal until there is an activation of it.

Different spiritual mantles have been given to people and as you touch the mantle of a
particular office, you draw the virtue and power form that anointing. You do not have to touch
him physically only but you can draw from afar physically and spiritually.

Faith is what is needed to touch a mantle and certain apparatus is included. This is what I want
the world to know. Many are closer to great prophets, mighty oracle but they end up remaining
where they are because familiarity has crept into them from touching the mantle of that
prophet.

This is the time to hold our fathers in the Lord with huge esteem that their mantles can fall on
us.
Faith is the spiritual pipeline that connects a man to the mantle.
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him they sent out into all that country
round about, brought unto him all that we deceased and be sought him that they might only
touch the hem of His garment and as many as touched were perfectly whole.

Matthew 14 : 35 – 36

One translation says they kept begging Him. Have you ever being begged by someone like a
church member. That they are demanding something from your anointing, I beg pray for me,
my healing, I need a miracle. This is how you put a demand on the mantle (anointing).
According to Webster, to beseech means to beg for urgently, to request earnestly to, seek.

And wheresoever’s He entered, into villages or cities or country, they laid the sick in the
streets and be sought Him that they might touch if it were but border of His garment and as
many as touched Him were made whole.
Mark 6 : 56

Placing a demand on the anointing through the touching of his mantle. I placed a demand on a
great man of God who was my everything, Prophet Foster Asumadu. I was living with this man
and I placed a demand on his oil, located the virtue of his mantle and tapped it. From there, my
life began to turn around prophetically. I have met different prophets whom I have touched
their mantle.

I cannot see an anointed man of God and let him go just like that; I have to tap into his
anointing.

Where there is no demand, there is no supply. I call this the law of demand and supply.
Under touching the mantle there are ways into it and one of them is Service.

THE POWER OF SERVICE

Many people rejoice of Elijah’s inheritances to Elisha, but they forget to find out how he got
these.
But Jehoshaphat asked, is there no prophet of the Lord here through whom he may inquire of
the Lord an officer of the king of Israel answered, Elisha son of Shaphat is here he used to
pour water on the hands of Elijah.
2 Kings 3:11

This was what saw Elisha into the anointing of Elijah. Elisha used to pour water on the hands of
Elijah. No wonder he became great in the office of Elijah.
Service is a great tool in the kingdom. I called Elisha the water boy; he served his way into the
anointing.

What is service? Service is performing a routine maintenance, doing work for someone.
“Jesus said, if anyone want to be great he must serve”, in this kingdom, if you must have the
mantle of the prophet you must to serve and that is pouring water on his hands becoming his
associates, ways of service

• Becoming a member of his church.

• Associates

• Becoming an usher

• Protocols etc.

As Elisha served with his heart, the anointing upon Elijah fell on him.
You can touch the mantle but one way to touch is to serve it continuously, submitting and
becoming obedient to it. Elisha was an oxen plower when Elijah threw his mantle on him. To be
able to operate in the same office he needs to obey him by following.

Your greatness is in your obedience. Elisha served well.

Let us look at Paul.
I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived because they have supplied
what was lacking from you. For they refreshed my spirit and yours, also such men deserve
recognition.
1corinth 16:17

Prophets needs helpers in ministry who can refresh his spirit. A refreshed spirit always catches
revelation. Apart from service, you must come to a level of honoring the prophetic ministry or
office.

HONOURING THE PROPHET

How do we honor prophets to operate from the office of the prophet? A prophet is Gods agent
of change for us, the nation, and our families. Therefore, we must honor them with our seed
and our offering. Sowing seed and making sacrifices is one of the ways a prophet is honored.
You may be in contact with the prophet, may be you desire his grace, his anointing. What
releases that gift on you, what help you to touch the mantle is when you honor him with your
seed.

As you give to a prophet you have downloaded 50% of his anointing and as you continue in that
practice it will release to you a double portion of that grace.

Years ago I was there and I heard God speaking to me. It was in the afternoon, to go and sow
some couple of dollars and pounce into a prophet’s ministry. He is a great prophet in Ghana
called Prophet Malfred Acheampong, founder of Fruit of Christ Int. and after that seed the
power of God took over me and dangerous levels in the prophetic began to overshadow me.

There is power in the giving and seeding into the life of a prophet.

And whoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the
name of disciple, very i say unto you shall in no wise lose his reward.

Matthew 10:42
Whatever you sow into a man of Gods life can bring you a blessing. You seed determines your
reward.
Begin to sow into your prophet’s life and your life will never be the same in ministry. Many give
to me and they don’t get blessed alone but your seed has the power to draw out virtue from
the prophet directly into your life. I pray that God will open your eyes as you read this book and
begin to recognize the need of touching the mantle.

I want to bring the church to a place where the prophetic can be real to our life style, in our
homes, work place and every area of our life that people may see the move of God in their life.
As you read this book, whoever you are.

I declare over your life that the Grace to stand in the office of the prophet, the mantle to
operate in the gift of prophecy and purity and availability to move in the spirit of prophecy be
granted unto you. I purify your conscience in the name of Jesus. As a prophet I release you for
another level of power and glory.

CONNECT THROUGH MATERIALS

You can get the anointing or touch his mantle too by soaking in of tapes of great prophets,
reading their books. As you are reading my now, you are connecting with my words and the
bible says men spoke as they were inspired.

For the prophecy never had it origin in the human will, but prophets through human, spoke
from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

2peter 1:21

So as you hear a prophet preaching and you listen, you listen to the spirit on the man. The bible
says words are spirit. Every word in the atmosphere will live till eternity. Words don’t die. As
you are reading now, every word I say to you are spirit. The word of a prophet is the spirit on
him, when the Holy Ghost takes over he gives him\her words to say (James 3:5-12).

If in the natural sense words have power, how powerful can inspired words can be? A prophetic
word through a book can change your life, though tapes can change your ministry. It can
release you into a new level. Begin to soak in tapes of prophets and read their books, it is a
connection.
If you love a minister and admire his grace (anointing) you must always read his books,
constantly reading his books and listening to him, one day the anointing will fall on you.
Dreams and visions no matter how great, dies in a wrong environment.

You are called to be a prophet why are you not reading books on it to enhance your ministry
and gift. Some are in the wrong environment. It is good to read but why do not you spend more
time on your place of assignment. I remember when I started ministry without the strong
prophetic grace; anytime you see me, I will be carrying a book of a prophet. Mostly I carry
senior prophet Isaac Anto’s book and Prophet Salifu Amoako. I began to search in my area of
assignment.

Every assignment has challenges and pitfalls. So as you read, you will find them so that you
position yourself well. I saw many pitfalls and challenges of the prophetic ministry and that is
why we are still operating from the throne of God.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself, but the simple pass on, and are
punished.

Prov. 27:12

As you read and listen to them they direct you on the right path that you can have a great
ministry. I see you becoming great in Jesus Name. I pray for you that as you are reading the
book, may the prophetic Grace activate every area of your life and gifting in Jesus mighty name.

Amen!!!

Next which will be the last chapter is on pitfalls in the ministry.

CHAPTER 7

PROPHECY AND PITFALLS

Pitfalls are the greatest weapons against the prophetic ministry. I have seen many rise and fall.
The bible says, how the mighty fallen are.

No matter how great a prophet you are, the pitfall in the ministry is a threat to your greatness
and up liftment.

The pitfall has reduced many prophets from rising. Some are dead and some have run away,
some are hiding. This because they have fallen into these pitfalls.

That is why as we share our lifestyle and teach you through books and audio tapes your life is
preserved.
Certain pitfalls that must be avoided to me in my years of ministry are:
PRIDE

Pride goes before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverb 16:18

Pride is a dangerous weapon against the prophetic office. There are two types of pride in the
bible.

We have the self-willed prophet that is the prophet who operates with his judgment. Like
Jonah, who acted in pride, as he was looking for the judgment of Nineveh while God was seeing
with mercy. They are into their personal ambition. There are prophets who believe some
people cannot receive prophetic words because they are living in wrong situations, sin. They
feel big to judge others.

Jonah 1:4.

They are immature prophets who response to God like destroyed children. They want to have
their way. If God does not work their way they are not happy.
The other type of pride is arrogance in ministry because they can do more than other ministries
and ministers. They behave in arrogance. Pride is dangerous to this office. Remain humble as
the Lord lifts you up.

MONEY

Money is the cause of blindness to this ministry. If you are a prophet, be careful of money
because money has become the standard of man. Some prophets in this era do not seek Gods
glory, they seek their money.

Materialism have been a problem in the prophetic, cars, dresses and possession but true
prophets outline all these things and stay focused for God and their generations.
So many prophesy for what they may get.

Thus saith the Lord concerning the problem that make my people err, that bite with their
teeth and cry, peace and he that putting not into their mouth, they even prepare war against
them
Micah 3:5
Some prophets prophesy doom on those who do not have money and speak peace to them
who have money and gives to them. That is what is happening now in this era, may God deliver
you from it in Jesus Name. Will not stand your way; pride will not stand your way. Look at
Gehazi, he was on the road to greatness but material things stopped him from carrying the
generational mantle. It was his turn but he didn’t turn to God but money.

This is what you cut off from your body. Many prophets are anointed with accurate prophetic
power but they are still holding onto something, son what have you cut off? Takes your eyes of
them, is a sacrifice that will result in a great reward one day.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY

Any minister can fall to sin but prophetic people seem to be especially prone to sexual sin.
Perhaps one reason is because of the heightened sensitivity that comes with the prophetic gifts
while the prophetic individual can fell the move holy spirit, but they can also feel the torment of
Demonic spirit that attack them through others by John Paul Jackson. Look at Solomon, and his
father David. As the anointing is on you it attracts men and women and as the cone, the devil
will try to use them against you.

Just be careful and stay focused. Rev. Eastwood Anaba said years ago, I quote “falling is
inevitable but from the height you fall from”.

There is a great general of my life and my ministry his grace Apostle Johnson Suleman in Nigeria
founder of Omega fire ministries said “life without the anointing is advertising and disaster
and life with the anointing is a responsibility, it is a duty”

And of the angles he saith, who maketh his angels spirits and his minister flame on fire but
unto the son he saith, thy throne, o God if forever and ever. A sceptre of the kingdom, thou
hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity therefore, God even thy God hath anointed thee
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Hebrews 1:7- 9
Prophets of God love righteousness. I do not care about the denomination. Just hate iniquity.
Where there is sin struggle is inevitable.
When you become conscious of purity, you become a container for power.

Purity prunes a man for more dimensions if you continue to entertain sin in your life. In sexual
immorality it will drain your grace and fire, it contaminate glory and virtue.
Make up your mind today, no more falling into it, we will make to our destination in Jesus
name.

Your anointing, integrity and your competence is what God needs.

I pray for you, that you are coming out into the prophetic grace in the name Jesus.
You cannot be hindered, you cannot be stopped from your duty, never hide the prophetic
calling gone are the days when everybody ask what is your calling we hide our calling because
we feel we don’t carry honor because of false prophets. But today is not like that, because
some of us stood on our grounds. Receive double prophetic Grace in Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.

Begin to pray in the Holy Ghost and the anointing is right there with you!!! Amen!!!
